Funny Jewish joke Before you ask, no this is not an offensive jew joke, it is jewish humor: A man by the name of Gotlieb called his Rabbi and said, ""I know tonight is Kol Nidre, but tonight the Yankees start the playoffs. Rabbi, I'm a life long Yankee fan. ""I've got to watch the Yankee game on TV"". The Rabbi responds, ""Gotlieb, that's what VCR's are for."" Gotlieb is surprised. ""You mean I can tape Kol Nidre?""
